Wimbledon 2010: Vera Zvonareva vs. Serena Williams - can the predictions go wrong?
Wimbledon 2010 could never ask for more. The world’s best women tennis player in the shape of Serena Williams from America will go into today’s big match against Vera Zvonareva from Russia at the All England Club with a lot of confidence and spring in her stride.
Serena Williams will be sporting a cream and strawberry outfit which will be corresponding to the event as well. Serena will aim to win her thirteen Grand Slam trophy with dignity, quite similar to the delicate civility that she exhibited in front of England’s Queen a few days ago.
However, Williams has been famous for her aggressive tennis display during big matches. Her break down at the United States Open last year is a vanishing retention as she laughed while talking about it last week. As far as the six stages of Wimbledon 2010 are concerned, Williams in terms of her game as well as attitude has been simply flawless.
On the other hand, the match will reveal the explosive Russian tennis sensation, Vera Zvonareva, who has till date won 10 WTA singles titles.
Vera has dealt with her aggression with pinpoint finesse however nobody is aware of the fact about what happens when Vera goes under the towel. She makes use of the towel during the change over’s in order to focus and the outcome has been an unexpected run to the grass court Grand Slam final for the very first time in her professional tennis career.
The twenty-one seeded Russian player Vera Zvonareva defeated Jelena Jankovic as well as Kim Clijsters on her way to the final match at the All England Club. She also paired with her partner Elena Vesnina to defeat the top seeded William sisters in the double’s quarter final clash at Wimbledon 2010.
“With the passage of time, I have learnt a lot from every single game that I have played, it has also helped me to control my emotions on the big occasions and as a result I exactly know where to show aggression and where to stay calm during the match now”, Vera said on Friday. While commenting on her emotional outbursts, she said, “they are not harmful at all; in fact their absence in sports is something that really needs to be worried about”.
The girl earlier has made her way into the quarterfinal of a Grand Slam back in 2003 at the French Open Championship when she was just eighteen years of age. It was her best Grand Slam performance until the previous season when she reached the semi-final of the Australian Open.
Vera Zvonareva is famous for weeping on the tennis courts even when the girl is succeeding and as a result, Vera has broken a number of rackets due to her aggression.
“She was extremely sentimental and would fall down on her knees”, Lindsay Davenport who is a three-time Grand Slam winner commented about Vera. However, there is no doubt about the fact that the girl looks to be the most poised player in the Women Tennis Association to beat Serena Williams.
The improvement in her performances came out of the blue. When Vera stepped in London, she had defeated five of her last seven opponents, along with a round two loss at the French Open tournament at Roland Garros. However, she was defeated in Round One of a warm-up match in Eastbourne. As a result, her world rankings fell down to twenty-one.
However, Vera has brought her A-game to this season’s Wimbledon 2010. This is going to be the first grass court final at the All England Club.
While commenting on the crowd’s expectations and analysts’ predictions, Vera said that “I will try my level best to avail this opportunity and exhibit a match winning knock against the top ranked player and as far as the book makers are concerned, I really do not care about whatever they say, all I need to do at the moment is to focus on my own game and that what I am going to do today”.
So there is no doubt about the fact that the Serena vs. Vera contest would be an exciting one to watch and that no tennis fan will be willing to miss this encounter at the All England Club.
